12 Nov 2025

by Cycle Néron

When temperatures drop, training indoors becomes a great way to stay fit, keep your cadence, and push your limits. And here’s some good news: smart trainers paired with training apps make the experience more immersive and motivating than ever.

Here are some of our favorite apps to keep riding all winter long.

Zwift: The Essential

It’s probably the most popular app among cyclists here. Zwift turns your workouts into true virtual adventures, where you can ride with thousands of other cyclists across imaginary worlds or routes inspired by real places. In addition to races, you’ll find personalized training plans, challenges, and a strong social component to help you stay motivated.

Compatible with most smart trainers (including Wahoo, Tacx, and Elite).

Wahoo: Precision and Performance

Designed for cyclists who like to structure their training, Wahoo combines power, science, and motivation. The app offers complete programs based on your performance data and FTP, with a highly immersive and realistic approach.

TrainerRoad: For the Power Purists

No virtual landscapes here, just an ultra-efficient, science-based approach to performance. TrainerRoad offers precise training plans tailored to your level and goals. The app focuses on improving your power and endurance without distractions.

An excellent choice for cyclists who like to track their progress down to the watt.

Rouvy: Explore the World in Augmented Reality

Rouvy delivers a unique experience with real-road videos and augmented reality technology. You’ll literally ride through filmed landscapes from around the world, with resistance automatically adjusting to the terrain. It’s a great balance between realism and effective training.

Ideal for those who want to travel without leaving their living room.

MyWhoosh: The Free Rising Star

MyWhoosh positions itself as a free alternative to Zwift. The app offers varied 3D environments, races, training plans, and excellent compatibility with modern smart trainers.

No matter your level, there’s now a platform suited to your training style and goals. Pair your smart trainer with the right app, and you’ll see, winter flies by when you ride connected!
